I'm impressed with the Suzuki, not bad for its second race. Now if aprilia could get their act together I'd really happy

Once again 'test' year for the Ape.  Wink

Worth a read, and the lap he refers to is definitely worth a look.

That kid is incredible.

I really wish I could see him and Stoner dice it out.

MM's qualifying lap was nothing short of amazing...even more so when you consider he had just ran down pit lane to get his #2 bike.  bow down bow down bow down

So it appears that dropping 2 liters of fuel was (almost!) an issue for the Ducati after all!   laughingdp

Since I have the Spanish speaking commentators, no way I can get the English guys, they were saying something about clutch . . .

Great qualifying by MM.

I am glad Rossi got podium.  Wish he beat Dovi, but since I like both, it will do Smiley

Really bad luck for Redding Sad

1. Marquez
2. Rossi
3. Dovi
4. Iannone
5. Whore-hey

Rossi and Dovi are interchangeable.  Not so sure Ianonne will finish. 

I didn't get the order right but I was close.

Excellent race.  Marquez is an animal.  It was clear he came to win.

2. MM
3. Rossi

Same here...right guys, wrong order.

Very good race for second. MM is indeed an animal!

Marquez was not going to be denied. He let that be known with his quali performance.

Interesting that both GP15's ran out of fuel on the cool down lap. Tongue

I think Dovi played it smarter this time. He kept pushing Rossi from behind until Vale's front tire was toast and then took charge.

Gigi said the Ducs weren't using any extra fuel for the race...same as factories. So, not a big deal they ran out. I can see COTA going through more fuel than other tracks with the 2 long straights.

edit...this is a rumor I heard actually, and haven't read it yet. I expect that Motomatters will clear it all up in the coming days.

edit again...I think I was wrong. Pretty sure they were using 22L. Everyone gets 22L next year though.

The 'pass' he put on him was classic.

Dovi's or Rossi's?

They were both pretty good...Rossi's pass would have gotten him on the pavement if it was a lesser rider.
